THE HEART OF POLAND
Cracow, Its Buried Patriots and the
Hill of Kosciusko
Cracow is the ancient capital of Po
land, the city around which cluster
most of the glorious memories of that
lost but not forgotten kingdom. There
for moro than 400 years the kings of
Poland were crowned and buried, and
for more than 300 years it was their
seat of government.
There lie buried Jan .Sobieski, who
delivered Vienna—and thereby all Eu
rope—from the Turks; Poniatowski,
the famous general who became one of
Napoleon's marshals; Michicwicz, the
poet of Poland, and Kosciusko, the
patriot hero of the Poles. The tombs
of all four arc in the Stanislas cathe
dral, a beautiful Gothic church built in
1359, that crowns the Wavel, a rocky
hill that rises on the edge of the town.
There are other fine churches in tho
city, the Augustinian and Dominican
among them, and there is also the
great royal castle, which was long the
residence of the kings of Poland, and
fell to the uses of a barracks after the
kingdom was divided and which has
within the last fifty years been re
stored.
The city also contains a very fa
mous old university, which dates from
1364 and in age is second only to
Prague among the universities of Eu
rope.
Cracow itself was founded about 700
A. D. More than once it was destroyed
by the Tartars, rebuilt and recolonized
by Polish, German and Bohemian set
tlers. From 1305 to 1610 it was the
capital of Poland. Later it was part
of the grand duchy of Warsaw, and
from 1815 to 1846 it was, with its im
mediate neighborhood, a free and neu
tral state, a distinction it lost when
internal disorders gave Austria an ex
cuse to step in and take possession of
the town.
One of the most interesting things
in Cracow in Kosciusko hill, a mound
of earth on the top of Uie Borislava
hill. It is made up of handfuls of iartli
brought by Poles from every corner of
tho kingdom and thrown together to
form a memorial to the Polish patriot, |
composed of the soil of the country he
loved so well. Across the river Vistula j
on Krakus hill there is a similar
mound, which is said to be almost 1,-
20.0 years old. It was, so tradition
says, raised in the same way to the
memory of Krakus, the Slavic prince
who founded the city.
To the patriotic Pole Cracow is al
ways the spiritual center of his father
land—the "heart of Poland."—

A Gallon of Gasoline
A single gallon of gasoline will do
wonders almost anywhere, but i'o
where has it been applied to better I
purpose than on the farm. Here are \
some of its stunts. It will milk 300 i
cows, bale four tons of hay, mix thirty
five yards of cement, move a ton truck j
fourteen miles, plow three-fifths of an j
acre of land and make enough elec
tricity to keep eight lights going in
the farm houee for thirty, days.

"I had a horriible dream last night,"

REGAINED HEALTH
Mr. Martinran Finds Oood Health
After Using Wonderful Remedy
C. Martinran, of 4 2 Graves street,

Leroy, Talma and Bosco
The days of the "hocus pocus" ma
gician and of the circus conjurer with
his three shells and illusive pea have
long ago been disapproved. The Leroy,
Talma, Bosco company of magicians,
that arc at the Majestic this afternoon '•
and to-night, is declared to be one of
the few magical aggregations with an
all new repertoire of tricks and illu
sions. . ,
The tendency of the modern theatre- j
goer is to demand something nertr in the
shape of novelties and mysteries. Not- <
withstanding the fact that magic is an '
art, dating back to an age greater than |
that of the Pyramids, yet the up-to- ]
date magician has kept abreast with
the times. To-day one no longer sees
the time-honored egg trick with the
proverbial red bag, but. instead, feats
and illusions built aud woiked out >
along scientific Adv.* |
Sousa a Good Mixer
The prime business of the artist is to
entertain, to delight and to bring
laughter and color in a gray and joy
less world. Sousa has been criticised
at times for mixing the bright with
the serious in his concerts, but he knows >
what people like to hear, and he is :
proud of tne fact that he has been
called "the Kipling of music," for;'
Kipling is a great man —a purveyor of i
infinite pleasure. The serious numbers 1
on Sousa's programs are given in a way
that makes them instructive as well as
effective, but enough bright music is
interspersed throughout to make his
concerts irresistibly enjoyed. The ap
pearance of Sousa and his band here
to-morrow evening, w'th Miss Virginia
Root, soprano; Miss Margcl Gluck,
violinist?, and Herbert L. Clarke, cor
netist, as soloists, will be warmly wel
comed. Adv.*
David Warfield
Of particular interest will be the
presentation at the Majestic Thursday
evening of David Warfield in "The
Auctioneer." a comedy in three acts
by Lee Arthur and Charles Klein. This
is the play in whfth Mr. Warfield made 1
his first deep impression on the theatre
going public thirteen years ago. His
impersonation of Simon Levi will al
ways remain in the memory as a su
preme interpretation, and one harks
back to it perhaps as the best thing
this beloved and universally admired
actor has done. At all events, Mr.
Warfield has never been seen in a more
human or appealing character, so that
this revival is all the more timely anil
interesting. Adv.*
"Little Mary Mack"
W hen "Little Mary Mack," a new
musical comedy, comes to the Majestic
theatre next Saturday, local playgoers
will see an unprecedented policy in the
production of musical comedy that
probably will prove startling. There
will be a noticeable absence of all
European flavoring in "Little Mary
Mack." The entire action of the piece
is laid in America and the players and
music are American. In short, the au
thors of this production have defied
tradition to give American theatre pa
trons an American show. After its en
gagement here, "Little Mary Mack"
will go to Philadelphia. After an en
gagement there it will go to New York.
The producer of the play also is the
author of the book and lyrics. New
ton Ashenfelder and Sigmund Romberg
provided the music and the dancing
is under the direction of Fred Bishop,
who staged "The Three Twins," "My
Best Girl" and "The Debutante."
Adv.*
The Regent
Audiences which filled tho Regent
theatre greet every production of "The
Sign of the Cross" vesterday and to
day. The film, with William Farnum,
the man with the $ 100,000 expression,
in the stellar role, is among the best
ever brought to Harrisburg. Taking
part in the great play are more than
500 people and the principals in the
cast are among the notables in the
"movie" world, who were gathered to
gether especially for the stupendous
production. When Wilson Barrett
wrote the story of "The Sign of the
Cross" he little thought that every de
tail which his m.nd's eye conceived
could be pictured on a screen, but, nev
ertheless t,his is just what has been
done. Nothing has been left out of the
production and even the descriptions
of hills, gardens, etc., which are noted
in the bonk are faithfully told by the
pictures. '' The Sign of the Cross,'' in
live reels, will ibe shown at the Regent
theatre to night for the last time.
For to-morrow and Thursday, Man
ager Megaro has engaged the remark
able film, "Cameo Kirby," with Dus
tin Farnum in the leading role. ThiH
film tells a pretty story of romance and
adventure and gives the star an ample
opportunity to display bis ability.

Oirls at Colonial
Tn "The Haberdashery Girls," a
musical comedy act that opened yester
day for a three-day engagement at the
Colonial theatre, Busy Corner audiences
are being offered one of the best vaude
ville features that ever worked beyond
the footlights of the popular Market
street playhouse. _ This act combines
all of the feature's that go to make
an act of this kind popular. The music
is catchy, the scenery is elaborate, the
comedy is good, and above all, there
is a bevy of pretty maidens well drilled
in the art cf dancing. The act
smacks in some respects of one of the
most popular headliners offered at the
Orpheum during the past season. The
girls represent models in a modern ap

posed to be offered for sale are dis
played in all their glittering attractive

this act at both performances yester

pleasing the public with Colonial shows
